Gene Therapies In Ophthalmology Overview

Gene therapies in ophthalmology represent a revolutionary approach to treating a variety of genetic and inherited eye disorders. This innovative field harnesses the potential of genetic manipulation to address the root causes of these conditions, offering the promise of long-lasting and potentially curative treatments. One of the most notable applications of gene therapy in ophthalmology is for the treatment of inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). These conditions, such as retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis, are often caused by mutations in specific genes that play crucial roles in the function of the retina. Gene therapies aim to introduce functional copies of these genes into the affected cells, restoring their normal function and halting the progression of vision loss.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are commonly used as vectors for delivering therapeutic genes into target cells in the eye. These viruses are modified to carry the therapeutic gene without causing disease, making them a safe and effective delivery system. Once delivered, the therapeutic gene integrates into the patient's cells, allowing for the production of the missing or malfunctioning protein.

Luxturna, an FDA-approved gene therapy, exemplifies the success of this approach. It targets a specific genetic mutation causing Leber congenital amaurosis and has demonstrated significant improvement in vision among treated individuals. Luxturna’s success has paved the way for the development of additional gene therapies targeting various genetic mutations associated with retinal disorders.

Gene Therapies In Ophthalmology Pipeline Analysis: Drug Profile

RGX-314: REGENXBIO

RGX-314 represents a singular subretinal therapy administered just once, utilizing the NAV AAV8 vector carrying a gene responsible for a monoclonal antibody fragment. The resultant protein aims to counteract the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thereby altering the process of forming new permeable blood vessels and the accumulation of fluid in the retina. RGX-314 is in the developmental stage as a potential single-dose remedy for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and various other chronic retinal conditions typically treated with anti-VEGF interventions.

The initial of the two planned pivotal trials assessing subretinal delivery of RGX-314 in patients with wet AMD, known as ATMOSPHERE, is currently active and accepting patient enrollments. Additionally, the company is actively enrolling patients for AAVIATE, a Phase II trial focused on treating wet AMD through suprachoroidal delivery of RGX-314. Anticipated in 2024, the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is based on findings from two pivotal trials: ASCENT and the ongoing ATMOSPHERE trial. The ASCENT clinical trial, conducted in collaboration with AbbVie, is expected to enroll participants in both the United States and Canada.

AGTC-501: Beacon Therapeutics

AGTC-501, a gene therapy initiative, is presently undergoing Phase II/III clinical testing to address X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). This program became part of Syncona’s portfolio following its acquisition of AGTC in November 2022. XLRP is primarily triggered by mutations in the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene. Distinguishing itself from alternative methods, AGTC-501 ensures the expression of the complete RPGR protein, effectively tackling the comprehensive photoreceptor damage associated with XLRP, encompassing both rod and cone loss.
